Living in Hoofddorp Floriande West, Haarlemmermeer

Floriande West is a relatively young residential neighbourhood on the west side of Hoofddorp, largely developed in the 1990s and early 2000s. The neighbourhood has a planned, spacious character with many single-family homes, semi-detached houses and a limited number of apartment complexes. The streets are wide, there is plenty of greenery between the homes, and the architecture ranges from traditional brick construction to more modern designs. It is not a compact urban neighbourhood, but a district clearly designed for families who want space.

The largest age group consists of 45- to 65-year-olds (more than 3,500 people), which partly determines the atmosphere of the neighbourhood: quiet, orderly and predominantly family-oriented. During the day it is indeed quiet, as resident Roos also notes in her review: "Deserted during the day." That is an honest picture of a neighbourhood where many people work outside the home during the day. In the evenings and weekends it is a different story: neighbours know each other, children play outside and there is a certain sense of community. Youssef Houliche, who moved to the neighbourhood in 2020, describes it as follows: "I was immediately welcomed with open arms by all kinds of street residents, and the neighbourhood is always cosy and almost everyone is cheerful."
